6 “SARATOGA RACES. The Largest and Most Brilliant As- semblage Yet on the Field. —— ALL THE FAVORITES BEATEN. A Splendid Day ‘and Bril- liant Races. TRUE BLUE'S GREAT/SUCOESS cena nase The Fastest ,; Two*Mile Time on 7 Record. —- THE HURDLE SACK TURNED INTO A FARCE. Sunrise Wins; the Mile Dash; True Blue, the Two’ Miles, and Blind Tom, the Hurdle Race, SARATOGA, July 81, 1878, Take from Saratoga ita afternoon concerts, de- prive it of ite mghtly hops, and remove its races to other places, and the greater part of its attrac. ons would have flown, and what remained would hardly prove snMcient to attract or to amuse those who regard it as the great watering place of the country, which the world of fashion finds it neces- sary to “do” each succeeding Summer. This state- ment is made with a full consciousness of the power which the passion which people have of coming to see and be seen exercises. But, after all, that kind of thing tires in a little time. It becomes too much of a good thing. It proves tedious and slow, uh and insipid, and, unless there is sometmng to vary the dull monotony of hotel life and water drinking, the sole fact of a place being a fash- Jonable resort will not alone secure its popularity for @ very lengthened period at all events. Fashion, at best, is but a fickle jade, variable as a Summer's day and changeable as a woman, PEOPLE COME AND GO here so rapidly that it is almost impossible to con- ceive how or where they come from, or form any Just estimate of the numbers who, seeking pleasure during the hot months, touch here and go to other places to pass through the same routine, until the round is complete and the mission of their Sum- mer vacation is fulfilied. It is now just one week gince the races commenced, and the strange faces that one meets on the streets, in the hotels and on the race course show ‘hat the attractions now held forth, while they bring iresh pleasure seekers, do not prove suiticient to stay the tide of those going in Other directions. At THE AFTERNOON CONCERTS, and all of them are weil attended, one 1s particu- larly struck with the number of new faces to be met. A week makes a vast difference. Coming and going all the time. These afternoon concerts, by the by, are one of the most pleasant features of life at this place. Congress Hall, the Grand Union, the Grand Hotel and the Ciarendon have ail full bands, and give some splendid music every alter- noon. Dinner over at each of them, and the guests assembled around in groupson the piazzas or in the parlors and for an hour or so they are entertained with selections from Mendelssohn, Auber, Strauss, Rossini, Wallace, Bellini, Abt, Verdi, &c. The rivalry between the bands is great. A generous rivalry, to be sure, and one which the guests profit by, for where every leader is put to the test he ties to do hie best, by reason of the comparison, As a consequence, the music ig excellent. THE NIGHTLY HOPS, too, are other features of the gaiety which swells the round of pleasure, At these hops there is ap excellent opportunity for the display of toilets, and few ladies miss the opportunities thus af forded them. Old ladies as well as the young ones are enthusiastic for the dance. It revives with them days Jong since passed, calls up pleasant memories, banishes care and cheers the passing hour. The night before last there was A CHILDREN’S BALL at Congress Hall, which proved a very elegant affair, The entrance to the ballroom was hand- somely decorated, and the passageway crossing the street from the hotel proper to the ball- | room was neatly decked out and ilittmined. The company was composed principally of the children staying at Congress Hall, but many of those at the other hotels were also there, That 1s one of the features of the | balls and hops at the Springs. The guests at the hotels roam from one to the other, dancing a waltz here, aset of lancers there and finishing with a gallop somewhere atanother. The children’s ball Passed off splendidly, and the little ones seemed to drmk in the full enjoyment of the hour. FOR CHARITY SAKE. Last night there was given in the ballroom of the Grand Union Hotel a promenade concert and soiree dansante, which passed off most pleasantly and yielded @ good harvest for the excellent char- ity in the interest of which it was given. Among ‘the ladies on the Committee of Arrangements were Mrs. Governor Curtin, Mrs. Judge Garvin, Mrs. Judge Ingraham, Mrs. W. M. Vermilye, Mrs. 8 4. Hatch, Mrs. B. F. Beekman, Mrs. 4, Duryee and many other equally well ‘nown ladies here. The ballroom ‘was well filled during the concert, and when the room was relieved somewhat of the throng the Gancing commenced. The evening was delight- fully cool and this was duly appreciated. Dancing was Kept up until some time after midnight. Dis- sipation is very gentle here and no excesses aro indulgedin, The hops are over by eleven o'clock, and even POOL SELLING on the succeeding day’s races is never continued after ten o'clock. I dropped in last night tothe pool room to have a look at things. There stood ‘the dapper little doctor, who selis with bis coat of, his short sleeves rolled up and he selling away as if bis very life rested on the result. Around him, seated in @ semi-circle, sat his auditors, many of them books in hand, figuring up, making notes O/ the poois or trving to cypher outa “sure thing.” While the selling lasts the scene is a lively one. Yet there is no confusion, no imtemper- ance of Jangnage or of manner, good humor, with ® mixture of amxicty prevailing. No one, of course, buys a losing horse. Aji believe they know what they are about, Ifa man thinks, after le buys @ pool on One horse, that he has made a bad Investment, straightway he goes and in the Mu- tuals endeavors to fix himself so as to come out about square. The chances are he misses beth. Meantime the pooi selling goes on, without any ,btop, not even to aliow the good-humorea littie Weelier to take his “ginger ale, with noth- ig in it, and of the ice, please.” some people “hear of sure things,” others learn of ‘something that’s werth OT EL, 4 friend, ifyou have one, tells you to buy so-and-so, “goin’ to win nd 6o the advice goes and the chances are 4 depend on such knowlegde, you'll learn ‘an due ti it's worth less than nothing to possess it, LADIES AND THE WEATHER PROSPRCTS, * , This morning was a most delightful one—bright, ‘Dalmy and beautilul.

The brightness of the Gay, together with the character ef the races, ind many to come Who probably might have stayed away if tho day Were less bright or the sport less inviting. As the hour for Starting 59 ached new accessions to the already well filled stands began to flow in. Private equipages tn goodly number commenced to line the palings assigned to them. On the quarter stretch, Fnmediatels iy front of the grand stand, abe crowd was very dense, and the number of um- brellas of every snade and hue which passed and repassed indicated, as forcibly as the thermometer itseli, how intense was the heat outside the shade. THE APPEARANCE OF THE COUNTRY. The grounds in front looked tresh and charming. The recent rain had worked to a charm and called up the simaple white wild Gowers, which now dot- ted the gréen sward. The foliage of the trees in the immediate background, the dark lines of the green mouptaing im the far distance and the neatly roliing country between presented @ fine the beauties of which were dis- cussed by many a fair one. The excitement of the course had nov blotted out their fine appreciation of the beauties of the scene. And it was a charm- ing one. if PREPARATIONS POR THE START. The judges be; to move to their stanas and the starter, with flag im hand, moved up the quarter stretch, Owners and trainers were giv- ing the last words of advice to their jockeys, and the man on the stand had just issued his in- junction, “Now ladies and gentlemen, ail please be seated,” and so forth. The conversation and gossip were hushed Jor the moment and eyes were strained in the direction of the horses who were drawn up for position in front of the starting post. “Now they’re off,” says one. “Not yet,” says another, ‘Minnie W. 1s acting ugly,” says a third, “Let's take @ drink between starts,” rings in a fourth, and thus flew comments and criticisms while halt an hour passed by. At last they got off, BETWREN THE RACKS those whe wanted to abe little money out got into the homestretch and took positions round tne poolsellers, and for thirty minutes the scene was ating one. Many a joke was made on the mames oi the horses. To see Boss Tweed bought in a pool by a New York pollician for $5, with a Nurse thrown in, provoked many o laugh. Thero was a time when the Boss would not have sold so cheap, even on a race course; but things have changed, and, last in the poois, the Boss was also last in the race. The finish of this race was one of the most exciting ever seen on a race course. True Blue came tn @ winner, amid the most intense ex- citement, making the fastest time on record. Cheer upon cheer rung out as the horse passed by the grand stand, CLOSE OF THR DAY'S SPORT. The day’s racing was brought to a close by one of the funniest oi races. This was a hurdle race, and between balking, tumbling and falling horses and riders together, with shouts of laughter on the stands, @ more amusing sight it would be hardly possible to witness. Asin all the other races, the favorite in this was also beaten. The day, taking into account the mirth which the last race pro- voked, passed off most pleasantly, and during the ride back to Saratoga the mishaps of the hurdle race afforded ample opportunity for jokes and merriment, TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OFFEBED FOR TRUE BLUE, Leonard W. Jerome otfered John F. Chamberlin $20,000 for True Blue after ne won the race to-day. The offer was declined. THE RACING. We had one of the most delightful days for the sport that we have had during the meeting, and the track was fine and fast. Quick running was” anticipated, but not so fast as was made. The quickest two miles ever run in this country was done to-day by True Blue. There were three events on the card—the first a dash of a mile, then @ two-mile dash and afterwards a hurdle race of two miles over eight hurdles, All the favorites were beaten, The first race had six entries and five starters, These were L, A. Hitchcock’s chestnut filly Quits, by Eclipse, dam Columbia, three years old; Rice & McCormack’s bay filly Sunrise, by r Planet, dam Ultima, three years old; R, W. Walden's chestnut filly Minnie W., by Planet, dam Edina, three years old; F, A. Watson’s bay colt Valley Brook, by Jerome Edgar, dam Min- nie Minor, three years old; D. McDaniel & Co.'s bay filly Sue Ryder, by Knight of St. George, dam Glycera. Crockford was a great favorite over the field last night, and in some of the pools he was left out, the others being sold without him. In the pools sold in the latter way Minnie W. had the call, Sue Ryder being second choice. Arriving at the track it was ascertained that Crockfcrd would not Start, and all bets laid on him to win were off. Miunie W. then became a great favorite over the field. She behaved stubbornly before starting, de- laying the race nearly half an hour. She was fourth in getting away, but was in front at the half-mile pole and led halfway up the homestretch; but there she was overhauled by Sunrise, who soon took the lead and won the race by two lengths, six lengths dividing Minnie W, and Quits. The second race—a dash of two miles—had seven starters, These were ©, J. Alloway’s brown colt Boss Tweed, by Asteroid, dam Alabama, four years old; Rice & McCormack’s bay gelding John Mccor- mack, by Hiawatha, dam Rapid Ann, three years oid; Carroll & Coar’s bay filly The Muse, by Austra- lian, dam Zone, three years old; M. H. Sanford’s bay colt Mate, by Australian, dam Mattie Gross, four years old; D. McDaniel & Co.'s chestnut colt Jo Daniels, by Australian, dam Dolly Carter, four pert old; D. McDaniel & Co.'s chestnut colt ‘ubbard, by Planet, dam Minnie Mapsfleld, four pei old, and John F. Chamberlin’s bay coit rne Blue, by Lexington, dam Balloon, McDaniel’s stable was the favorite, Mr. Santord’s Mate being the second choice. John McCormack Was the next in favor, while True Biue had 10 tol bet against him. He won the best and fastest race ever run in this country, Mate being sec- ond and Hubbard third. Jo Daniels cut out the work, and had Hubbard to do the running at the end; but neither of them was fast enough for the gallant bay. The owner of True Blue and all con- nected with the stable won heavily on the race, as they had great confidence in the horse, and knew him to be in the finest possible condition for the first time this season, The hurdle race had for starters J, G. K. Law- fence’s chestnut horse Village Blacksmith, by Vandal, dam Cholera, aged, 1541bs.; Kerwin & Lioyd’s bay horse Viley, by Uncle Vic, dam Silver Star, aged, 154 lbs; Jonn Boughrum’s chestnut gelding Sorrel Dan, by Revenue, dam unkuown, d, 161 Ibs.; M.

Viley, Mary Clark and Viilage Blacksmith retused the second hurdie together, and Blind Tom went on with the race, which he won by half a mile. Mary Clark and Sorrel Dan fell at the fifth hurdle. ’s rider was soon mounted and went after Blind Tom, and after she had gone a quarter of a mile Sorrel Dan’s rider was mounted, and he also started again for the third premium, which was secured. A greater farce was never seen than was this race, The First Race. PURSE $500, for all one mile, Rice & McCormack’ junrisé, by Planet, dam came the bpp Ultima (A. Robi 1 R, W. Walden’s ch.

He went on with his work in good style, while all the others acted as much hike brates as possible. Village Blacksmith got to the third hurdle, and there he stopped. Viley passed over five hurdies, and tien gave up the race. Mary Clark and Sorrel Dan both fell at the fifth hurdle, but were mounted again, and won second and third money, halfa mile behind Blind Tom. A more ridiculous farce was never seen, and this kind of racing, we predict—with a few more such exhibitions as this and others which nave occurred lately—will cease to be as popular as heretofore, RACING TROUBLES AT CLEVELAND. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 31, 1873, Mr. John Tod, the President of the Trotting Asso- ciation here, to-day held a consultation with the |. representative of the HERALD inregard to the judg- ment against the owners of Clementine, whose dri- ver wasremoved and Budd Doble substituted in the 45 race yesterday.

On the strength of this Doble and Biggs invested $1,000 in pools. At the termination ofthe third heat Doble claimed that the race was being thrown and the Judge gave him charge of the horse.

Of five entries there came for the word Fred. Halght’s bay mare Lady Pfiifer and mate, Israel Denton’s sorrel geld- ing Billy and mate and Jobn Fhillips’ bay gelding rince and bay gelding Mack. The latter team had the call in the pools over the fleld, $30 to $20, Biily and mate won the heat with ease, Soh Pfifer second and Prince and mate Isst. The betting continued spirited, and Prince and mate sold even against the field. The second heat was a pleasant exhibition of speed on the part of Prince and mate, Lady Pfiifer and mate just saving their dis- tance. The flag feli in the faces of Billy and mate. The third heat “turned the tables” on Prince and mate, as breaking twice Lady Ptlier and mate went for a distance, and trotting magnificently up the stretch Haight almost succeeded in accom- plishing his purpose, but when the flag fell Prince and mate were one length inside. Lady Pfifer and mate also won the fourth heat, and Prince and Mack the fifth heat, when the contest was post- poned because of darkness until three o'clock this afternoon, SUMMARY, DEERFOOT PARK, July 31, 1873,—Purse of $200, for" teams, mile heats, best three in five; $126 to the first, $50 to the second and $25 to the third horse.

Next on the list was the purse of $500 for horses that never beat 2:25, mile heats, best three in five, in harness; $300 ‘to the first, '§160 to the second and $50 to the third horse. Entered tor this were Fred Haight’s chestnut mare Grace Bertram, Joun Ellis’ black mare Lady Byron, John Murphy's bay gelding Charley Green and Peter Manee’s bay mare Mary A. Whitney. In the poois Charley Green was a great favorite, selling for $100 to $25 for the fleld. After several ineffectual attempts they got away to a good send ofl, and after a most spirited contest Lady Byron won the heat amid much en- thusiasm. She went under the wire lead- ing two lengths, Mary A. Whitney second, one length suead of Charley Green, and Grace Bertram fourth. The “knowing ones,’ who had feit that Green must certainly win, were How all at sea, but rushing to the pool box stiil in- vested their money on Charley, and the field hay- ing a8 many friends the betting was even for a time, Green against the field. Again Byron was the choice, and then still again Charley Green was the favorite, and by the time the horges were called for the second heat there was an intense in- terest manifested in the result, The word was given to @ good send off, and after a ne heat Lady Byron again proved the winner, beating Charley Green @ head at the finish. The speed of Byron up the stretch was unexampled. The judges were of the opinion that lur- phy used his whip in an objectionable manner near the three-quarter pole, bnt they did not pun- ish him jor it. Charley Green still had frienas, who made him sell for the same amounts in the pools with Lady Byron. ‘The send off was bad for ive and, notwithstanding one of her kuee boots slipped to her foot, which made her twice go into the air and consequentiy fall to the rear, she trotted a game race, beating Green home a length, amid much cheering. Byron was given the race, Chariey Green getting second money and Mary A, pg ALE premium. This race was @ bad one for the friends of Charley Green, SUMMARY, Same Day.—Purse of $500, for horses that never beat 2:25; mile heats, best three in five, in har- neas; $800 to the first, $150 to the second and $60 to the third horse, Jolin Ellis’ bik. m.

Flying Visit to B: and the Other Charitable Institutions, Mayor Havemeyer, Comptroller Green, Alder- man Ottendorfer, Commissioners Davenport, Latm- beer and Stern paid a fying visit to the different institutions on Randall’s, Hart’s and Ward's islands yesterday.

Matters stil) seem to be awry at Sing Sing Prison, Yesterday morning the oMiciais were somewhat nonplussed on having returned to their custody fourteen of the fifty men drafted and sent to Auburn Prison last Monday. When this batch of forlorn jailbirds approached their old stopping Place, securely mgnacied and under a strong guard, many of the convicts turned from theiw task and stared in wonderment at the phenomenon, doubtiess as! themselves what next was going to transpire. e reason assigned by the author. ities of the Auburn institution for this unusual and expensive preceeding 18, that the manner in which the draft was made is illegai, the law requiring that the last men received at the prison must be the ones transferred, On cousulting the “General Statutes of the State of New York,’’ volume vii., chapter 841, section 3 of an act passed May 11, 1869, authorizing the transfer of convicts from Sing Sing Prison, reads a8 follows:—“The selection of convicts tor removal shall be made from among those who have Jast arrived at such prison, and who shall have at jJeast one year of their time of imprisonment yet to serve at the time when such selection is made.” ‘The desire on the part of the Auburn authorities to comply with the statute above quoted, as robably interpreted by them, may pos- bly bring about a conflict authority just now, ag ‘Wes Allen” and Frank Walworth stand out in bold relief among the latest arrivals at Sing Sing. Under this pressure it is not im- probabie that the redoubtable Allen will again have occasion to retreat behind a carving knife, or else secure & sufiicient stock of nitro- glycerine to destroy the entire prison, and die with his enemies, as Samson of old did when he pulled «iown the Temple of Dagon about the heads of the Philistines at Gaza, With regard to Walworth, it remains to be seen whether the mighty influence which has already been directed towards mollifying the asperities of nis prison life will prove suftictently puissant to secure for him a Pleasant sojourn (whether permanent oF other- wise) in his present quarters, FIRE IN DIVISION STREET.
